One highlight from the @GRDCWest Updates at Mullewa yesterday was the Weed Chipper. This prototype is being developed by the talented Dr Michael Walsh & Dr Andrew Guzzomi. The demonstration illustrated its potential capabilities. Exiting technology! #weedchipper #GRDCUpdates

Let’s not all look like complete idiots and start getting our facts right. Australian irrigated Cotton’s averages
7.8ML/ha = 7,800,000 litres
8.37bales/ha x 227 = 1899kg. =4107L/kg
That doesn’t include the seed that goes into Stockfeeds.
